Machine secures complex
loads to ensure safe transport
The Multi FleXL stretch hood machine
is designed to secure and
maintain the integrity of tall and wide
pallet loads throughout the supply
chain. With larger loads, proper load
containment can be a challenge,
and selecting the right type, size and
thickness of stretch hood film and
applying it appropriately is critical to
ensuring the load will withstand the
static and dynamic forces caused
by handling, impact and vibration
during transit, at all points throughout
the supply chain. The machine
wraps loads from 500  500 mm,
and up to 3,200 mm length  1,700
mm width, with a maximum height of
3,000 mm. It can be configured with
up to four different film sizes, and be
set up to automatically switch among
them, to provide enhanced flexibility
and a perfect fit for every load. Wrapping
up to 150 loads per hour depending
on the size and height of the
product, Multi FleXL further provides
fast and accurate results.- Lachenmeier,

Food-packaging materials can
handle hot or cold contents
This company's new NX UltraClear
polypropylene (PP) food packaging
designs provide glass-like clarity
to optimize the appeal of food, and
heat resistance for hot-fill applications,
warming under heat lamps
and microwaving for reheating. The
abiity for food packaging to be made
from NX UltraClear PP streamlines
inventory management and conserves
storage space for users,
says the company. - Milliken & Co.,

grate into an existing manufacturing
process. It has a production rate of
up to 400 pieces per minute. The
machine features a newly desined
digital load cell and a high-speed
processing module, allowing it to
deliver an unmatched level of precision
weighing and measurement at
±0.8 g, says the company. Standard
digital inputs and outputs, and a
touch-panel color LCD screen make
it user friendly. Dual-channel airjet
ejectors allow the user to sort overweight
and underweight products.

Cartoning machine allows
for quick changeover
This company has added the
Sigpack TTMP, a new topload cartoner,
to its TTM product portfolio
(photo). The TTM platform is wellsuited
for the packaging of ampoules,
vials, syringes, pens and further
products from the pharmaceutical
industry. The machine features a
patented changeover concept that
is both simple and safe, and ensures
high process safety and broad product
flexibility, says the company. Due
to its modular design, the machine
layout can be adjusted to different
product needs. With an output
from 30 to 200 cartons, the TTMP is
well-suited for both large and small
batches. Modules for forming and inserting
partitioners, package inserts
and tray de-nesting can also be integrated.
